Open data resource containing the Climate Analysis Map for Vienna.

Suggested SUTEE use: Use as a reference for climate-sensitive urban planning and local environmental discussion.

EEA air pollution maps

European Environment Agency interactive maps and dashboards showing pollutants such as PM2.5, NOx and ozone. Useful for introducing particulate matter and official air quality indicators.

Suggested SUTEE use: Compare SUTEE sensor readings with official air quality patterns.

Additional note: Fine particles, also called PM₂.₅, are the most hazardous air pollutants commonly found in ambient air. They can cause a wide range of negative health impacts and affect several organs in our bodies. The map below shows average concentrations throughout the period 2019-2021, expressed in µg/mᵌ. Higher concentrations (orange to red) are more hazardous than lower concentrations (green), but there is no safe concentration of fine particles.

Notes: Also available for NOx and Ozone
